Aptly-named bold blend
Sampling Aromas de Salazar Cola Oud, definitely among the most interesting-sounding entries in the current catalogue, as I love the taste and aroma of cola and find oud to be a bit of a wildcard.
Cola Oud largely delivers on its name, a blend of cola and our, slightly dirty and animalic via the latter but fresh, citric, and caramelized via the former. Like several of Michael Salazar’s other creations, it feels like an artful, inventive mix of opposites, delivering on both the main notes with a supporting cast of blackcurrant, pepper, jasmine, and the (very necessary for cola) citruses.
There are two other cola-rich fragrances that are quite excellent if you’re looking for more cola than is in Cola Oud: Hendley Perfumes Cola (currently sold out but occasionally restocked) and Mancera Tonka Cola, which seemingly had a highly-anticipated release in late 2022.
Overall, I’m impressed with Cola Oud for delivering on its concept with high quality and creative blend of notes. It’s definitely less easygoing than the other aforementioned two cola fragrances but that’s frankly fitting as Cola Oud is more daring, edgy.
Cola Oud is sold via both the house website and Perfumology and is priced at $225 for 50ml, on the higher end of the catalogue, though there are sometimes discounts. And like most offerings in the house, it performs very well.
